My eyes sometimes get squinty because of intermittent exotropia sometimes they're fine, other times they drift. Is surgery an option to fix this? I'm based in Chennai, so I'd like to know if there are good treatment options here.

Yes, surgery is a common and often effective treatment option for intermittent exotropia, but it's not the only one. Other options include glasses, eye patches, vision therapy, and even Botox injections. The best course of treatment depends on the individual's situation, including the severity and frequency of the eye deviation, as well as any other symptoms like headaches or double vision.

No proven natural cure for myopia—eye exercises may reduce strain but won't reverse refractive error.

I have a squint in my right eye and I'm considering surgery how effective is it and what's the recovery like? Are there any risks I should know about?
Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is generally effective in correcting eye misalignment, with most patients seeing significant improvement in their eye alignment. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most people returning to normal activities within that time, although complete healing and final alignment can take several weeks or even months. While generally safe, there are some potential risks, including temporary side effects like mild discomfort, redness, or double vision, and in rare cases, more serious complications like infection or vision impairment.
